Itinerary

Day 01

Borobudur Temple and Batik Heritage

Begin the tour with a visit to Borobudur Temple. If Egypt is known for the pyramids, Indonesia is known for its colossal Buddhist temple, Borobudur Temple, the largest one in the world. Then, head to the handmade batik centre. A vacation in Indonesia is not only about adventure and nature; you can also experience the culture here. Those who want to dive deeper into the richness of Indonesian culture can take heritage trips to Indonesia's batik villages. Aside from seeing the process of making batik, you can also learn to make batik directly from the craftsmen themselves. Check in at the hotel and stay overnight.

Candi Sukuh and Museum Keris

Today, go to Candi Sukuh. A tour to Sukuh, the "erotic" temple on the slope of Mt Lawu, reveals distinctive thematic reliefs unlike those of other candi, where life before birth and sexual education are the main themes. Next, proceed to Museum Keris. There is also a description of the keris-making process, including sesajen offerings by the masters. This gives visitors a real opportunity to watch the manufacture of keris. Check in at the hotel and stay overnight.

Day 03

Keraton, Prambanan Temple, and Ratu Boko

Visit Keraton, where visitors can enjoy the atmosphere of the Kraton in former times by seeing the life-size diorama of wedding ceremonies in the palace meeting hall, performed by puppets intentionally arranged to create such an atmosphere. Sets of Javanese musical instruments, antiques, and heirlooms make the palace of Yogyakarta worth visiting. Then, go to Prambanan Temple. It is the biggest Hindu heritage site and has beautiful scenery because of its design. It also has a historical background that attracts tourists. Next, head to Ratu Boko. From Ratu Boko temple, tourists can see Prambanan and Kalasan temples on the north side, with Mount Merapi and rice fields as the background. To the south, the south sea looks hazy. Visitors can also enjoy the sunset scenery from there. Check in at the hotel and stay overnight.
